News Phil Walsh RIP

[andrew webster]

Enough of this silver lining bullshit. There is nothing positive to come out of this.

I never said it was a silver lining. There are two general ways to respond to grief and I’m not saying one is better or more appropriate than the other.

You can wallow, reflect and come out of it slowly. Some people need to do that to get to grips with it, which is fine. Or you can use it to steel your resolve, give you a new energy and inspiration – try and use that as your coping tool.

When I got up I heard the news and I can barely talk... Just what? My thoughts are with his family, friends and you guys.. I'm just in shock

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Sorry for your loss guys. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

What a horrible, horrible story.

I'm gonna hold fire on this issue till the truth comes out but unless it was a non self-induced psychosis he deserves to feel the weight of his choices. No more from me on this but this scenario is played out all too often.

No judgement from me, more just a thought about what the Son must be realising this morning

 

[Cap]

You know, you see Walshy and you think "this man has got his shit together". You just think this incident could never happen to him. As a father, I could just not imagine how my son could do this. Its sureal. If this can happen to a man like him, it can happen to anyone.

as a son I can't imagine doing that.

what I hate is is things people imply about the situation, which happens because it is male related.

Clearly Walshs son needs help, but that shouldn't get in the way of natural justice.

Vale Phil Walsh. A real custodian of the game.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

I can't see how footy can go on this week. A true horrific experience, all thoughts to his family, friends and all members of the Adelaide footy club. RIP.

 

[grizzlym]

I'm totally shocked by this.
RIP Phil Walsh.

 

[DJ75]

Can't even imagine what the point of that is. As if they are going to take any questions. Maybe just a short statement. Up to the AFL to advise what is happening regarding the game.

They need to make some sort of statement. I imagine it will be along the lines of how we are all feeling. I imagine tomorrows SANFL match will be cancelled and the AFL will advise on the AFL match.

Not much more they can say really.

 

[DJ75]

So over the last few pages I see many are moving out of shock and in to anger.

Keep it sensible folks. We are all reeling and stunned. No need to slam each other.

 

[hey shorty]

Numb, just numb. How the hell do things like this happen ??? Life just doesn't seem fair at the moment. Thoughts go out to his family and the whole AFC community.

We are hurting but we must band together and help each other get through this. Just when our club starts to get back on its feet and now something beyond the worst scenario imaginable occurs. Football can take a back seat, stick together my fellow Crows.

RIP Phil... so sad

 

[gilbert the best]

RIP phil walsh, condolences to the wife and daughter and the Adelaide people.

 

[DJ75]

Jesus. Just thinking about Sloane. He went with Phil and his Son on a surfing trip recently that Phil said was about re-connecting with his Son.

Imagine how Sloane is this morning.

Given your posts are often so poorly recieved - no matter what your intent - that perhaps it would be respectful not to post.

Id think 4. Geelong, West Coast, Port and Adelaide.
Horrible news, it's going to be a crap day now. Gotta feel for his son in all of this also.
Condolences to all of his family and the club.
I'm stunned. RIP Walshy.

Brisbane?

We don't know what has caused this. We don't know the circumstances that surround this tragic event. We do know that no one is immune from the darker elements of society. This event places a lot of things in perspective. But our hearts have been broken in the process.

 

[Wosh]

Condolences to everyone on this board..whatever your club and players decide to do this weekend the AFL and BigFooty community will support them and pay our highest respects.
Rest in Peace Phil, thank you for everything.

That's what Walsh would like too.

[Mr. Blonde]

Just shocked and stunned that this has happened. You've lost a fantastic coach and a great man. RIP Phil Walsh.

 

[Smartys Power]

Sending my condolences to the Adelaide Football Club and all of you Crow supporters.

We may be rivals on the field but footy is just a game. Life is far more important. We're all human beings, we all have a right to live. Nobody ever deserves to go through something like this and experience something in these circumstances. The football world comes together, grieving together. Brothers in arms.

RIP Phil Walsh.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Completely floored to just find this out. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

 

[Elite Crow]

i think this the first time I have felt real shock and it sucks

 

[baldandbroke]

Wow - that tweet says a lot. I think they will play if that is representative of the player's thoughts.
